Frequently asked questions
Is it really free?
Yes. The site is supported by ads, so you never pay or need to create an account.
Can the organizer peek at the matches?
No. The system encodes pairings client-side into individual encrypted hashes. Only the recipient opening their private link can unwrap their secret match.
How do exclusion rules work?
You can specify pairings that should never occur (e.g. partners, siblings, or prior year matches). The algorithm guarantees valid derangements without self-draws.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes. The page adapts to your screen and does not require installing any app.
